Edgar is married and has one son. He is a young entrepreneur who owns a store that sells cell phone and cell phone minutes. He also activates and repairs phones. Edgar tends the store himself. He told us that there is a lot of competition in the telephone business, and he has to offer great service to compete, especially by responding to the requests of potential clients as quickly as possible. Edgar has invested past loans in purchasing cell phone minutes and accessories. Because of this he’s been able to keep his store well stocked and offer a variety of products and services. Edgar is contemplating moving closer to the center of the city, because there is more traffic. He is asking for a loan to buy cell phone accessories and minutes.
